CHURN-DASHER.

SPEGIFIGATION forming part of Letters Patent N0. 514.164, dated February 6, 1894.

Application filed J'une 16, 1893. Serial N0. 477,846. (N0 model.)

T0 all wh0m z't may concern:

Be it k nown that I, J OHN W. RICKER, of Ohelsea, in the oounty of Sufiolk and State 0f Massachusetts,have invented a new and useful Improvement in Ohurn-Dashers, which improvement is fully set forth in the following speoifieation and shown in the acoompanying drawings.

One objeot of my invention is 130 produoe a ohurn dasher that shall be rotatory bat have all the parts within the oream relatively rigid. I also provide the dasher with radial wings f0r gathering the butter, and with a swivel handle.

The invention is hereinafter fully deseribed and more partioularly pointed out in tl1e claims.

-Referring 130 the drawings, Figure 1 is a side elevation of my improved churn dasher parts a1; the upper end being longitudinally seotioned. Fig. 2 is an end view of the dasher seen as indicated by arrow 2 in Fig. 1. Fig. 3 is a view ab the pper end seen as indioated by arrow 3 in Fig. l. Fig. 4 shows the holding pin for the movable parts.

Referring 130 the parts shown A, is the rod or shaft of the dasher and B, the head. O is the handle or part seized by the hands in using the dasher. The heavy dotted lines D, Fig. 1, represent the ehurn body.

The head of the dasher is prefearably 0011- strueted with four radial floats a a a a, ab right angles with eaoh other, made fiat 0x horizontal 011 their under faoes,- but inolined on their upper faoes, as shown. The floats are purposely made broad, and approximately seetoral or fan-shaped, as shown in Fig. 2, they being separated ab their inner ends by narrow radial kerfs b, up through which thin streams of cream projecb when the dasher is forced downward. Above eaeh float is plaoed a radial, vertioal wing c, as shown, these being rigid with oho shafl: A and the respeetive floats a. The outer edges of the wings are preferably eurved, as shown, though this ex aot form is -not essential to the sucoessful working 01: the deviee.

The handle C is preferably cylindrical as to general form,but it may be longitudinally ribbed'or fluted, or otherwise made uneven, if need be, to enable a heiter hold to be taken likewise passes through the shaft A) to reoeive a pin or key e, Fig. 4, for looking er holding the parts rigidly together. A circalar oap f, and an axial sorew g, passing through the oap and threaded into the shaft, serve to hold the handle in placeupon the shaft. New when the dasher is forced downward into the crearn there is no tendenoy 130 rotate beoause the lower faoes of the floats eorrespond 110 a horizontal plane. Bub when the dasher is raised through the oream it tends t0 rotate 011 acoount of the inolination of the upper faoes of the floats. -When the dasher is used for the pnrpose only of ohurning the eream, the pin e is inserted through the handle and the shaft; to hold those parts rigidly together, the grasp of the hands npon the handle preventing a rotation of the dasher. When the cream is ohurned and it is wished to gather the butter the pin is removed so that at every upward stroke the dasher is oaused to rotate and oolleet the butter in frono of and between the wings c.

What I claim as my invention isl. In a ohurn dasher, the oombination, with a staff, the lower end o1 whioh is provided wibh floats, and the upper end istransversely perf0rated and provided With a shoulder, of a transversely perfor ated tubnl'ar sleeve upon the stafl, and a removable pin through the perforations, of the sleeve and the staff, substantially as set forth.

2. In a ehurn dasher, the oombination, With a staff, the lower end of whioh is provided with floats and vertioal wings rigidly seoured thereto, of a rotatable sleeve upon the upper end of the staff, and means for looking the sleeve against rotation, substantially as set forth.

In witness whereof I have hereunto set my band, this 10th day of J une, 1893, in the presenoe of two subsoribing witnesses.
